Title: Passive concrete containment cooling system
Inventor: JIANHUA CAO
IPC: G21C15/18
Filed: 2015-03-20
Abstract: A passive concrete containment cooling system (100), comprising a heat exchange loop system (130) and a condensate recovery system (120); the heat exchange loop system (130) hermetically runs through the containment (110) to export heat out of the containment (110); the condensate recovery system (120) is disposed within the containment (110) and communicates with a reactor pile (112). High energy steam generated during an accident is exported via the heat exchange loop system to an ultimate heat sink in the atmospheric environment; the condensate recovery system recovers the condensate generated from condensation in the heat exchange loop system and/or on the inner wall of the containment, and automatically injects the condensate into the reactor pile, to realize passive injection into a reactor pile over a long period of time, and realize export of waste heat from a containment in accidents without relying on power such as an external AC power source, thus improving safety of a nuclear power station, and especially improving protection capabilities under the extreme conditions of a complete power outage and complete loss of a cooling chain.

Title: Method and system for downhole object location and orientation determination
Inventor: CRAIG MILNE
IPC: G01V11/00
Filed: 2015-05-15
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a downhole device that is intended to be co- located with an optical fiber cable to be found, for example by being fixed together in the same clamp. The device has an accelerometer or other suitable orientation determining means that is able to determine its positional orientation, with respect to gravity. A vibrator or other sounder is provided, that outputs the positional orientation information as a suitable encoded and modulated acoustic signal. A fiber optic distributed acoustic sensor deployed in the vicinity of the downhole device detects the acoustic signal and transmits it back to the surface, where it is demodulated and decoded to obtain the positional orientation information. Given that the device is co-located with the optical fiber the position of the fiber can then be inferred. As explained above, detecting the fiber position is important during perforation operations, so that the fiber is not inadvertently damaged.

Patent GB-2554997-A (GB)
Title: A therapeutic bed
Inventor: MICHELLE LOUISE CUMMINS
IPC: A47C27/12
Filed: 2016-02-08
Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a therapeutic bed for use by an animal where recovery is promoted or accelerated by a prolonged retention or increase in the animal's body temperature. The bed comprises a matrix of fibres between a sealed top and a sealed bottom surface where the arrangement of the fibres gradually increases from an upper, less dense region adjacent the top surface to a lower, denser region in the matrix. The matrix arrangement is adapted to absorb the animal's body heat through the top surface and to transfer the body heat absorbed by the less compacted fibres of the upper, less dense region to the denser lower compacted fibres. The heat stored by the denser lower compacted fibres is gradually released and returned to the less dense fibres of the upper, less dense region to be slowly reradiated back to the animal.

Title: Processing sensitive information over VOIP
Inventor: GEOFF FORSYTH
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 2017-10-11
Abstract: A method of processing, by a call processor 14, a media call, which may be a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) call. The call processor receives a first signalling stream 20, such as a session initiation protocol (SIP) from a first entity 17, creates a second signalling stream 21 to a second entity 18, which may be a contact centre, and forwards signals received from the first signalling stream to the second signalling stream. The call processor also receives a third signalling stream 22 from the second entity, creates a fourth signalling stream 23 to the first entity and forwards signals received on the third signalling stream to the fourth signalling stream. The first signalling stream contains instructions to set up a media call containing first and second media streams 24, 25 between the first entity and the second entity such that media is transmitted over the media streams without intervention by the call processor. Separation of the signalling stream and the media call seeks to address the problem of processing sensitive or secure information over VoIP particularly in a call centre environment.

Title: Protection assembly for an elongate member deployed underwater
Inventor: AUSTIN HARBISON
IPC: H02G3/22
Filed: 2017-12-15
Abstract: An assembly is used to protect an elongate member (for example an electrical cable) which extends through an opening in a support structure such as the leg of a wind turbine. A retaining device 18 is configured to lock itself in place in the opening. It has a body 82 for receipt in the opening, with an abutment 78 and a plurality of movable locking members 84. A movable member (such as a mandrel 86) is carried by the body and is moveable axially with respect to it, as well as being attachable to a pulling line. There is an actuating mechanism configured to move the locking members between retracted and extended positions as the moveable member is moved with respect to the body. As the assembly is pulled into the opening by means of the pulling line, the abutment engages the support structure and arrests inward movement. The movable member is moved in the inward direction with respect to the body, moving the locking members to their extended positions to lock the retaining device in the support structure. The actuating mechanism may be a ramp 104 or a cam (150, Fig 10b). The assembly also includes at least one bend protector (24, 20a, 20b, Fig 2).

Title: Collision mitigation and avoidance
Inventor: WANGDONG LUO
IPC: B60W30/095
Filed: 2018-01-09
Abstract: A collision avoidance method includes determining a confidence level of a potential collision for each target based on the targets heading angle and distance from a host vehicle 725. A threat number is determined for each target when its respective confidence level is above a threshold 730. A vehicle component, which may be a warning device, steering, braking or accelerator, is actuated based on the threat number 735. Targets may be categorised as oncoming 710 or straight crossing 715. The number of targets may be filtered to a predetermined maximum number and the furthest target may be dropped if a closer target if a closer target is identified 720. The confidence levels may range from 0, a low probability of collision, to 4, a high probability of collision and the confidence level. Previous measurements of position, speed and heading may be used in a motion tracking algorithm to predict future positions of the targets.
